CNN says Huckabee is the man. Well if he is his numbers on Intrade should be going up shortly. By the way since the Clemmons’ episode at the end of Nov. 2009 in which he killed 4 cops Huck’s numbers on Intrade have sunk into the abyss. Will leading a CNN allow him to climb out soon? Stay tuned!

>> I like Daniels from Indiana and Otter from Idaho. I doubt either will run. <<

Nobody could be better qualified than Daniels. I think the chances are increasing every day that he eventually will withdraw his oft-repeated "Shermanesque" statements and enter the ring. If he does, he'll probably become the odds-on favorite both for the nomination and for the election.

And BTW, I strongly recommend watching his terrific C-Span interview, which is at the following site:

That’s why reason #2 is germane.

"I think people here are being naive. This is NOT going to be a slam dunk."

Yep. If the MSM is once again successful in getting another RINO nominated (Huckster or Romney) then 0bama has a crack at another 4 years of destruction.

I so want to see someone like Paul Ryan run against Zero. Barry would be absolutely CRUSHED in every debate.

Rick Perry has done some things in the past that don’t impress me. If he got the nomination, I’d vote for him.....then again if the GOP nominated a ham sandwich at this point, I’d vote for it as well.

Whatever. This is nothing significant ... it’s only the media trying to sway the vote early instead of waiting until the election year.

Romney - No thanks. Huckabee - Better than Romney, but not that great. Palin - Sorry - not qualified, likes John McCain too much and inspires zero confidence in her leadership skills. Plus she has no chance as a candidate, let's be honest. Newt - Not bad, not great.

Still looking for a serious leader that will be to Obama as Reagan was to Carter. I would like to see Arnold make a run against Obama and clear up the whole birth certificate thing, the "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" sort of thing. Arnold could really be the terminator if he ran, forcing a birth certificate issue.

though i agree with you about Palin i disagree with the whole Huck/Romney preference. i am of the opinion that Romney is slightly better than Huck mainly because of the whole pardon fiasco. that will get him hammered in a general heck the WIllie Horton ads are already out there Dems just have to change some names around and viola Huck is toast. Romney is damaged with his health care crap so like you i am looking for someone who as you but it “Reagan was to Carter”. i am not sure who that would be yet but so far i like John Thune and Mitch Daniels although right now my favorite current Gov is CHris Christie down in NJ. He is giving the Teachers union the finger and really standing up for fiscally conservative issues. i really dont know how socially conservative he is but i do like his tenure as gov so far down there.

You are correcto.....name ID.

The Huckster is no dummy. He's latched himself to Rush's coattails with a nation-wide 5-minute commentary snippet that comes on directly after Limbaugh's daily gig. He speaks on every subject under the sun, always folksy and likeable, most of it unremarkable drivel.

Then too, on his Saturday night television show, lots of folks collapse on the couch with beer and baked Cheetos on the TV table, to watch and doze, watch and doze.....only to go on high alert and get positively orgasmic at the end of the program when he picks up his geetar and jams with the crew.

Huckabee is one walking TV and radio commercial for himself and he gets paid for it rather than having to lay out big bucks for self-promotion.

Like I say, Huckleberry ain't no dummy.

he is a very successful self promoter
gets paid for keeping his mug in the public consciousness

The Obama vs Republican candidate also includes "leaners", which skews the poll considerably...magritte
